The two Co-Chairs of the House Rules Committee are Rep. Andy Olson, who put
this measure together, and Rep. Dave Hunt, a Democrat. Both Co-Chairs must
agree before this bill will get a hearing. We strongly suggest urging your
membership to contact Rep. Hunt to ask him to deny this bill a hearing. In
addition to the negative clauses of the bill, we can also get it assigned to Greenlicks Health Care Committee, though it may not be.
Contact co-speakers here: rep.brucehanna@state.or.us : rep.arnieroblan@state.or.us
Here are talking points about
the bill's process:

* This bill was crafted in secret

* This bill is circumventing the normal process for a bill that should
have been considered by the more-knowledgeable House Health Care and / or
House Judiciary Committees

* Rep. Olson rejected OMPI offers of informational briefings, and
rejected all OMPI suggestions for positive changes to the OMMA - he has not
been willing to work with us productively.

* Similar bills have already been heard in the House and Senate, where
they failed to move forward - there is no broad political will to change the
OMMA this session

The other important person here is Dave Hunt, Olson's co-chair of Rules. If co-chairs do not agree, there is not action. We need to convince Hunt not to work on the bill even iff it gets an obligatory hearing in that committee. He is here: rep.davehunt@state.or.us .
You can contact Rep. Hunt at 503-986-1900 or by email at -
rep.davehunt@state.or.us

Other members of the House Rules Committee can also be contacted. You can
